Flexible Bed for any 3d printer

I am soon launching a flexible bed consisting of a flexible magnetic sheet to adhere to your existing bed, capable of 120+ degrees centigrade before its properties grade, this sheet can be cut to size using a pair of scissors. The removable half is a custom cut to suit your bed size metallic sheet where you would stick your build plate such as an AndOrNot build plate or PEI sheet etc.

People interested please reply to this post with the bed sizes, estimated purchase price to be £55 + Vat for a 300mm x 300mm system.

Given that most beds have some form of heat spreader which needs to be a good conductor of heat, these tend to be aluminium and not ferrous metal. So how is a flexible magnet going to adhere then?

what I envisage, is the kit comes with two magnetic sheet with a 3M sticky backing one for the bed and the second with PEI sheet attached

Just checked, and no this wasn't posted on 1st April.

I have a magnetic setup in use for a year or so now. You can use 3M foil to stick basically antything to a ferro or megetic foil, i use an Ultem sheet. The magnetic foil is actually improving the heat spreading, it is more even with than without.
You can either use magnetic / magnetic, magnetic / ferrofoil or magnetic / steel sheet. I use the steel sheet as a base for any material that needs glue to stick.

The 3m foil is this magnetic part. What temperatures can magnets take? Do you have a picture of your setup?

The foil stands up to more than 110° without losing magnetism.

Ok its the same principle as my magnetic bed but mine is good for over 120 degrees, i am running tests currently to find the max temperature it can take before its loses magnetism
